As I write this in mid-January In November of this year we will elect a president. 2012, I can’t help but think how If president Obama is re-elected it will be the de facto lucky the American gun owner has acceptance of Socialism in America. The media tells been for the last 3 years. In January us that Mitt Romney is too progressive to be a good of 2009 I was sure that with the change of presidential president. Ron Paul is too radical. Newt Gingrich has administrations we were sure to have an uphill fight to too much baggage to be elected. Rick Santorum isn’t maintain our Second Amendment rights. Thankfully well enough known. I can’t tell you who to vote for. I I was wrong. The healthcare debate and the countries think all the Republican candidates have their good and financial woes kept the liberal/progressive/socialist bad points. What I can tell you is that president Obama powers that be in Washington occupied with other and all his posse in Washington have a fundamental things besides Draconian gun control, but I am afraid hate for the American peoples right to keep and bare that the fight has simply been delayed. arms, and the scary part is that they have given no America has indication whatsoever of any willingness to back off entered another their desire to disarm us.
